Di Luca looking for friends.

Hard to look beyond Peter in April.

 

[Trofinios]

Do we know which spring classics Sagan will target?

 

[jens_attacks]

incredible that the old di luca is back and we won't see him in il giro
that attack with michele was awesome.
il killer letting his domestique from back in the days taking the bonus seconds...well that won't help because chris is gonna storm tomorrow the time trial

pretty cool stage anyway,purito was super fast on that last km.

I regret seeing Di Luca again. I mean of all ex-dopers he is the most evil together with Valverde. Always acting like he never did anything wrong

 

[Pippo_San]

Good job Sagan. In making Nibali lose the overall GC

6 seconds, got to sting for Nibali.

This. Yet I still believe Papi Horner will storm the ITT

“It’s going to be a very difficult time trial,” Horner told VeloNews. “We’ll see if I can become the first American to win Tirreno-Adriatico. We are all on about the same level in the time trials. Normally, when I have the form, I can even win them, and I have the form now, so I am going to go for the win.”


go papy horner!!!

Anyway...IIRC...didn't he say he was like the second coming of...I mean the best climber after Clentador?

Yeah... I wonder why he didn't show it. Got beaten by Nibs.

Nah, that's pretty unfair. Ricco's still ways above all of them in this special discipline. And why "ex-"?

Funny, he actually confessed, unlike many others.

I don't know what would be funnier, Horner winning the TT, or Horner failing to win the overall after his declarations.

nope contador and schleck are at a whole different level when you got to the high mountains.

What else is he supposed to declare? Is there anything for Horner to do besides going for the win in a TT?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali did evolve a lot in the last 2 years. From clamping on in the mountains or placing half-hearted attacks and blowing himself up, to mountain-attacker that wins on mountain stages.

But I have no idea where to place him in a Tour de France field. He finished 7th in the soft tour of 2009 but he was way worse then than he is now. We'll see in july. And then it's still waiting how many contenders survive the flat stages

this is one post i wasn't expecting glad to see you finally seeing the light on nibbles

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah but I remain stubborn claiming Gesink is even better if he finally stays upright for once.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Sagan better not start tomorrow. He can steal some bonus seconds from Nibali.
